How Safe is Your Car?

How safe is your car in Baltimore? - Baltimore Sun

The article is from 2014, but it still provides an interesting picture.

Any thoughts to why Mount Washington/ Upper Park Heights has had more car thefts than Roland Park/ Guilford/ Homeland?

Mount Washington had 70 car thefts, per the article. Roland Park had 54. Given population and/or land area differences between these two areas, I don't know if the difference is statistically significant or not.

But geez, what's up with Frankford and Belair-Edison? Why so many car thefts there?

Cars are the bounty of choice for the Baltimore criminal... Maybe RP has more garages where people can stash their ride than MW


I am not surprised that Frankford and Belair-Edison have seen an increase in crime. BPD Officers that I know have said that many of the people that were relocated from around JHU East Baltimore development moved up to the NE and landed in these neighborhoods along with Gardenville and Overlea. Not saying that everyone from those areas are/were criminals.. but the ones that were brought their habits to NE thus the increase in the menu of crimes....

Had my '58 Impala stolen in B-E. Came home from bar hoppin', parked on the dirt lot out back with the keys still in the car. Did that often but had only the one theft. Joy riders smashed it into a lady's fence which my poor old dad and I had to repair.

Recall some vandalism in B-E and during the winter, "porching" which consisted of ripping off cases of beer from under steps in the back yards. Lots of fist fights but no gun play. Goofy stuff like guys standing on the back bumper of the snowball truck as it wended its way thru the alleys. The "riders" would shift their weight up and down until the snowball flavors crashed on the floor of the truck. A small minority of the denizens used marijuana and/or pills. Oh, the Equitable Trust across from the Vilma theater was held up, not by local yokels, but rather two guys who drove down from the Big Apple.


Different era in a different Baltimore.

Never thought of that, I was just under the impression that Mount Washington borders lower Park Heights. Just read this morning of a car jacking in Canton, from a couple leaving their garage in a luxurious area. I guess no where is really safe.
